Jude Ainsworth Eliminated in 13th Place (€13,274)

Jude Ainsworth had been having some trouble, raising in late position with {K-?} {J-?} and then having to lay it down to reraises all in from Jan Skampa and the like, so he must have been delighted when he looked down and found {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. He raised under the gun to 38,000, and Antonio Matias and Michel Abecassis in the blinds both made the call.

The flop came down {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Spades} and Matias bet out 60,000. Abecassis flat-called, and the action moved over to Ainsworth, who announced all in for 278,000. Back to Matias - and he called. Now to Abecassis - and he re-shoved for 428,000 total. And Matias called that too.

Ainsworth: the aforementioned {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} for top set
Matias: {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} for top pair
Abecassis: {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the straight

Turn: {Q-Clubs}, giving the apparently golden Matias the straight as well

River: {3-Clubs}

Abecassis and Matias thus chop it up, and the last Team Pokerstars Pro standing heads for the rail in 13th place.
